CHRISTMAS BUNDLE: ESPRO FRENCH PRESS

We chose this coffee for its velvety texture and flavours of the festive season. In the cup, expect notes of praline, candied fig, and orange zest. The rounded sweetness and a touch of warm winter spice are reminiscent of a classic Christmas cookie.

Huye Mountain, Rwanda. The land of 1000 hills is blessed with ideal growing conditions for coffee: High altitude, regular Rainfall and rich soil. We have been roasting coffee from David Rubanzangabo since 2013.

David is a key figure in the development of Specialty Coffee in Rwanda, having won Cup of Excellence many times by now. When he took the Huye Mountain private, he segmented the mountain range into seven zones - each with a different flavour profile. David is a true philanthropist who cares deeply about the families he works with. He offers incentives to farmers to produce high quality coffee, working with social premiums and quality incentives. We are proud to work closely with David, and this years lots are better than ever.

Huye Mountain has its own washing station where coffees are processed and quality control takes place. During the harvest, ripe cherries are handpicked and delivered to the station for sorting and grading.

After sorting, our washed lot was pulped and fermented, before full washing. The coffee is then slowly dried on raised African drying beds, producing a clear, sweet profile. Season after season, the quality of processing at Huye Mountain impresses, with flawless beans packed full of clean and complex flavour.
